The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, is a growing global pandemic that now affects our daily life. Highly infectious, and dangerous to the sick and elderly, it has spread faster than our world was prepared, and the social impacts are now reaching our sports.
The NBA has indefinitely cancelled all future games after one of their players tested positive for the coronavirus (and now a second player has tested positive), the NCAA basketball tournament is not allowing spectators, and the NHL is likely soon to follow. NFL football has been spared until now because the live games aren’t taking place, but the virus is starting to take its toll.
